A 10-Year Design Journey Rooted in Singapore’s Soul
Over the past decade, Onlewo has carved a quiet yet distinctive presence in Singapore’s design landscape. Founded by surface designer Mike Tay, the brand has stayed true to its calling—translating the familiar language of local heritage, culture and everyday life into contemporary design.
What began with a curiosity to explore storytelling through prints has grown into a meaningful body of work spanning home decor and gifting—fine fabrics, porcelain ware, wallpaper, cement tiles and more. Each creation carries a motif drawn from the heart of Singapore—its iconic neighbourhoods, botanic life, and built heritage—presented with a refined, modern lens.
Onlewo’s approach to design has attracted collaborations with some of the world’s most esteemed names including Patek Philippe, Moët Hennessy, Cartier, Bvlgari, and BlackRock, alongside Singapore institutions like GIC, SGX, UOB, and Shell. These partnerships are testament to the quiet power of good storytelling—designs that connect people, places and moments.
Today, Onlewo remains committed to celebrating the Singapore spirit—thoughtfully, beautifully, and with heart.
